Player search should ignore diacritics

Right now, when searching for a player like Karri Rämo whose name contains diacritics, I have to actually enter it into the search bar like that, with the ä.

This can be trouble, especially when I'm searching for a Czech or Slovakian player whose diacritics I don't know. It would be nice if searching "Karri Ramo" brought up Rämo as well.

Yeah, definitely would simplify that sort of search, added to the list.
